It seems that the newer LCD monitors work best when set at the &quot;native&quot; resolution stated for that particular model. My Samsung calls for 1280x1024, while my newer 22inch calls for 1680x1050. I would definately like to see more input here as I am at a loss as to what sizes are popular anymore. 1280x720 is a new one for me! <br /> 😁

Never too busy for a good topic. I have a 15.4&quot; laptop and its default wide screen resolution is 1280x800 That 1680x1050 is right on the money with a larger, 22 inch monitor. I am not sure about sizes in between but i believe they should be 16x9 dimensions. Hope that helps. 🍺 :Happy

A Skinbase poll about it will appear in some minutes ;) <br />we all need some answers about wide screen resolutions. <br /> <br /> <br />Though, no doubt about which resolutions are most popular: <br /> <br />No 1 = 1024x768 <br />No 2 = 1280x1024 <br />No 3 = 1600x1200

I agree with adni. <br />1-1024x768 <br />2-1280x1024 <br />3-1600x1200 <br />4-1680x1050 for widescreen <br /> <br />It&acute;s getting harder to make all the sizes out there. Some of these screen sizes need to go the way of betamax. (even tho beta max was better} <br />The availability of inexpensive LCD monitors has made the 5:4 aspect ratio resolution of 1280×1024 more popular for desktop usage. Many computer users including CAD users, graphic artists and video game players run their computers at 1600×1200 resolution (UXGA, Ultra-eXtended) or higher if they have the necessary equipment. Other recently available resolutions include oversize aspects like 1400×1050 SXGA+ and wide aspects like 1280×720 WXGA, 1680×1050 WSXGA+, and 1920×1200 WUXGA. The most common computer display resolutions are as follows[3]: <br /> <br />Resolution % of Internet Users <br />Higher than 1024×768 38% <br />1024×768 48% <br />800×600 8% <br />Lower than 800×600 < 1% <br />Unknown 6% <br /> <br />Although I see the shift to 1280x1024 being the base. 1600x1200 for the majority and 1680x1050 for widescreen. But with prices dropping for larger monitors even 1280 will become a thing of the past real quick!

Yea I forgot to put in the 1440 x 900 sorry! I&acute;ve seen alot of those monitors, but I still believe a smidge wider is the direction. Any way we&acute;ve only found out we&acute;re stuck on what should be the norm, narrowing it down will come with time! :magic
